For my outdoor grows, I use a variety of nutrients. One of the main ingredients I add to the 5 gallon bucket is about 4-5 ounces of blackstrap molasses, in addition to General Hydroponics Veg and now Bloom variety. I add things like kelp meal, citric acid, among others. Last season, I did use mostly compost tea in addition to the above mentioned ingredients and also work quite well.
I have been told and have come to believe that the Blackstrap molasses does a couple opf things. In addition to adding sugars for the roots, it gives that plants a flavor that most predator insects do not like so in addition to being a good addition to the feeding system, it acts as an insecticide, preventing pests from damaging plants.
